About the name Quyen
Quyên is a Vietnamese feminine name, written Quyen without the tone mark. It comes from Sino-Vietnamese 鵑 (quyên), found in đỗ quyên, which denotes both the cuckoo bird and the azalea flower. In classical poetry the cuckoo’s call is an image of longing and homesickness, and the bird appears in Nguyễn Du’s Tale of Kiều. As a given name, Quyên stands last in the full name, as in Lê Thị Quyên, and it also appears in compounds such as Lệ Quyên and Thu Quyên.
